Same guys were on our 8-5 team this year.


I get it, but UGA fans I know tend to overstate the available tools, at least on a conference/national level. My buddies are convinced they'll be title contenders if Mason works out, "because man, we're loaded, we got Conley, JSW, Bennett, etc." Basically the same as on this board.

However, you'd think those guys were household names the way they're bantered around by UGA folks, but they're not. They're promising, but largely pedestrian, WRs at this point. And they were getting it tossed to them by the best QB in UGA history.

I understand how it is, you guys see the talent more than outsiders do because you look more closely, but homer predictions are frequently wrong. I'm just not sure it is fair to Mason to say he's surrounded by Ferrari pieces, when it is quite possible those pieces are average or were above average last year due to Murray.

I agree. We also don't know who stays healthy. Injuries are somewhat recurring.

First off, unless you're AJ or Julio or someone like that, you're not a household name as a college receiver. No team has that many no. 1's. What we do have is a TON of production along with #1 type talent in Malcolm Mitchell, sure handed dependable veterans in Bennett and Conley, and all the potential in the world in Rumph and JSW. Throw in our 2 starting tailbacks, Jay Rome at TE, and Bain/Merritt Hall at FB and you've got yourself an offense that is potent as frick.

Oh yeah, they've broken records the last couple years so it's not like we're going just off of talent and projection here. They've produced.
